2 Timothy 3:1-5 But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come. For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good, treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; Avoid such men as these.
A major atheist leader is drawing fire from the pro-life community after he said children who have Down Syndrome should be aborted.
Richard Dawkins also said “unless you are a vegan, you are in no position to object to abortion.”
Dawkins said the justification for killing any Down Syndrome child is that they do not have human feelings when they are in the womb.
Dawkins’ comments drew many angered comments but also some very reasoned responses including from Kurt Kondrich, whose daughter inspired the Down Syndrome Prenatal Education Act in Pennsylvania.
“My 11-year old daughter has been nothing but a priceless blessing to our family and community since her birth, and she is a girl with many abilities,” he stated, noting that Chloe is active in a variety of activities, including volleyball and baseball, and loves to read. “Chloe has planted countless positive seeds, and she is a beautiful, intelligent, independent young lady who has accomplished more amazing feats in 11 years than most people do in a lifetime. She is more than capable of taking care of herself and helping others.”
Several groups said that Dawkins’ comments were in line with those of people in history who advocated eugenics and the elimination of individuals called “defective” by those in power.
